Embedding processes in Salesforce Lightning Pages
To display diagrams inside a standard or custom object the managed package integration must be installed into a Production Org, the Enterprise license must be purchased for the target Space, and user provisioning must be set up so that Salesforce users have a user account in Elements.
A Lightning component, "ElementsDiagramView", is installed with the Elements managed package. This allows any Salesforce user to view Elements process diagrams in a Lightning page for a standard or custom object.
The Lightning Component is called "ElementsDiagramView" and is accessed from the left panel. Drag it onto a Lightning page. The screenshot below shows it in a separate tab called "Process Diagram". Click on the component to configure it in the right panel.

Use Component Visibility to make different process diagrams visible based on the value of a field on the record - e.g. record type.
